The other day I was rocking out to some Chili Peppers, and for some strange reason (probably because I was hungry) I started thinking about bands that had food items in their names. For example:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Black Eye Peas
Meatloaf
Pearl Jam
Smashing Pumpkins
This of course immediately caused me to imagine artist names that could easily be twisted into puns.
Why? I dunno, why not? But don't worry about it. I did it and you're stuck with it.
So here are my top 10 tastiest artists:
Oreosmith
Smokey Robinson and the Miracle Whips
The OJ's
Almond Brothers
Collective Sole
M&M
Elvis Parsley
Food Fighters
Mr. Mustard
Linkin Pork
So (you knew this was coming, didn't you)... what about you? I know you can do better than these. What band names can you think of that either already have food in their names, or can be made into puns?

Bananarama
Bread
Cream
Phish
As for my made up one, how 'bout Celine Dijon? Or Dwight Yolkam? Three Hot Dog Night?
Thanks. Now I'm hungry.
sornie - Sweet. Glad I could be there for ya.
kathy - Those are perfect! I knew I could count on you to get things rolling.
I am usually very good at thinks like this, but tonight I'm totally blank!
Kathy has given all the good ones!
Doesn't ben and jerry actually do a "cherry Garcia" ice cream flavour?
Anyhow I'm going for our vey own refeeders.
Ha! Good ones. I can't be creative at all when it's 87 in the house. Sorry.
I agree: Kathy took all the good ones.
Um . . . Bread Zeppelin?
Told ya.
Of course I'll think of about fifty tonight when I'm trying to fall asleep.
Ooo! This is fun!
Real foods:
Meatloaf
Spice Girls
Fakey ones:
Stevie Wonder Bread
John Watermeloncamp

Depeche ala Mode
All I can think of is Sugarland. But speaking of Elvis, we were at Graceland today!
"Linkin Pork" cracked me up, especially the logo. Great post!
Yeah... I can't think on the spot like that. I got nothing. I am impressed at your reworking on logos though!
babs - You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to beat Kathy at stuff like this. But hey... aren't you like 6 hours earlier than us?
dan - What a coincidence... The Refeeders are playing at the Sauk Rapids Food Fest this Saturday. No lie.
Heather - Come on Heather... everyone knows it's not the heat, it's the humidity.
jd - Don't be so hard on yourself... Bread Zeppelin was pretty good. But you know it's spelled Bred Zeppelin, right?
sharon - Excellent! I love it when a plan comes together. :-)
mom thumb - Graceland? Really? Wow, that's too cool for words.
absepa - Thanks. The "Jimmy Dean" part of the logo came out a little too small though.
michelle - You know me... Mr. Paint himself!
Crosby, Stills, and Hash
Emerson, Lake, and Malomar
Hershey's KISS
Oreo Speedwagon
Hall & Oats
I know this dates me, but how about Frankie Valium and the Four Seasonings?
Really gives new context to that "My eyes adored you" song doesn't it?
Chris@Maugeritaville - Those are fabulous. I can't believe I thought of Oreosmith but not Oreo Speedwagon. Good stuff. No, good DOUBLE stuff!
weirsdo - My favorite band to listen to in the morning... with a little milk and sugar.
Chris Casey - That's a great one. Hey, if I can use the OJ's, you can use Frankie Valium. :-)
Yes, yes, BRED Zeppelin, of course!
Still cracking up over Celine Dijon
Ooo! I love Crosby, Stills and Hash and Frankie Valium.
Here are some others I thought of on the way to work. Maybe lame...
The Beetles
Yolko Ono (I know, what's with me an yolks?)
Jimmy Buffet (I figure a buffet has at least a dozen different kinds of food in it, so it counts, right?)
OMG. I can't stop.
The Peach Boys.
Depeche Ala Mode!!
I crack myself up sometimes. HA!
Yeah, M&M kinda ruined M&Ms for me. :)
